Abstract
An augmented reality display system comprises a passable world model data comprises a set of map points corresponding to one or more objects of the real world. The augmented reality system also comprises a processor to communicate with one or more individual augmented reality display systems to pass a portion of the passable world model data to the one or more individual augmented reality display systems, wherein the piece of the passable world model data is passed based at least in part on respective locations corresponding to the one or more individual augmented reality display systems.
Claims19
A method of displaying augmented reality, comprising:
- determining a head pose of a user of a head-mounted virtual or augmented reality display system;
- determining a perceived location, in a passable real world model, of a virtual object to be associated with an audio object in relation to the head pose of the user, wherein the audio object corresponds to predetermined sound data, and the passable real world model shares at least an interaction of the user with one or more other users;
- reducing computational resource utilization at least by identifying a plurality of object recognizers in a ring topology;
- dynamically altering one or more parameters of the predetermined sound data based at least in part on the perceived location of the virtual object to be associated with the audio object in relation to the head pose of the user;
- and
- generating a visual trigger for signaling a head movement to the user toward the virtual object and presenting the visual trigger within a field of view of the user with the virtual or augmented reality display system that transmits light signals of the virtual object associated with the audio object to at least one eye of the user.
A system for displaying augmented reality, comprising:
- one or more sensors or transducers configured to capture information about a user;
- a processor coupled to the one or more sensors or transducers and configured to determine a head pose of a user of a head-mounted virtual or augmented reality display system;
- the processor further configured to determine a perceived location in a passable real world model of a virtual object to be associated with an audio object in relation to the head pose of the user, wherein the audio object corresponds to predetermined sound data, and the passable real world model shares at least an interaction of the user with one or more other users;
- the processor further configured to reduce computational resource utilization at least by identifying a plurality of object recognizers in a ring topology;
- one or more sound modules in the processor configured to dynamically alter one or more parameters of the predetermined sound data based at least in part on the perceived location of the virtual object to be associated with the audio object in relation to the head pose of the user;
- and
- the processor operatively coupled to one or more optical components and configured generate a visual trigger for signaling a head movement to the user and presenting the visual trigger within a field of view of the user with the virtual or augmented reality display system that transmits light signals of the virtual object associated with the audio object to at least one eye of the user.
